Chapter 27: The Knights of the Round Table Gathered

Lancelot walked into the meeting room with Percival and Gawain. They looked around and found that King Arthur had already been seated and was waiting for them.

"Lost even more I see." Lancelot said, commenting on how little the amount of users were there compared to when they initially started. "They would have all been alive if you didn't leave us to play bounty hunter Lancelot." Percival spat at Lancelot. "You wanna go pussy-val?!" Lancelot growled as Percival's words angered him quickly and for good reason too. He may have left but it was to get the resources and codes they needed.

"We'll see who really has the pussy you ass!!" Percival said before crafting a weapon. Feeling that they were going to kill each other, Gawain quickly intervened before anything bad happened.

"Listen, there's too little of us as there is, we can't afford to kill each other due to a stupid grudge." Gawain scolded the two before Percival looked at him and said in a low voice, "Tell that to Galahad."

"What do you mean?" Lancelot asked as this was confusing to him.  Gawain looked down in shame at the mention of their comrade Galahad. "Gawain, Percival... what happened to Galahad?" Lancelot asked the two in a serious tone this time.

"Galahad died Lancelot." Gawain bluntly answered his question. Those words made Lancelot fall. He was struck deep. Galahad was a close friend of his in CyberSpace... they were so close that they could be called brothers.

"How did this happen?" He asked since he knew none of the knights were known for their humour.

"Galahad got intel that Black Cyber was going to be near the Neon Valley. I went with him to ambush Cyber but he wasn't there. Instead we both got ambushed. Our men betrayed us. Galahad didn't make it out alive." Percival told the mourning user.

"You were more skilled... you could have saved him... He was like a brother to me and you let him die!!!" Lancelot lunged at Percival and choked his comrade.

Tears welled up in his virtual eyes. Pain and anguish could only be seen within them.

"Lancelot... as painful as the loss of Galahad was, we can't bicker here and let his sacrifice be in vain. Calm down and take your seat." Arthur told him with sympathy and authority.

Lancelot looked at Arthur who had a stern demeanor. He knew what his leader said was right, but he didn't want to focus on right. He wanted Black Cyber dead. No matter the cost.

Percival and Gawain took their seats shortly after Lancelot had calmed down. He took his seat before the three looked at their leader.

"Look, our supplies and troops have severely decreased as you know... but we can't focus too much on that. We need a plan of action."

"That we all agree on, but what do we do? We can't rush out so recklessly because if we do then we're all as good as dead." Gawain said after hearing Arthur speak.

"Yes, and Merlin was our strategist... it's too bad he died as well." Percival said before looking back at Arthur.

"Okay, also we need to know where Black Cyber is located. We can't attack him when he's unable to be tracked." Arthur said.

"About that... I know why we can't find him." Lancelot spoke up. The other three looked at him with eyes that told him to continue.

"At first I thought he was teleporting to different places... but his teleports were all random. Almost like a log on. After my fight with Kobald Light, I discovered that she was given a code that would allow her to leave whenever she wanted to, but she clearly didn't use it."

"Your point being Lancelot?" Arthur asked. "The codes were given to her by Black Cyber... That's when I realised it all. Black Cyber is able to log out of CyberSpace, and he's been doing so for quite a while. Think about it. He wouldn't lock everyone in CyberSpace if he didn't have a way out."

"Even if he was there and if Galahad and I could kill him..." Percival said realising what this meant.

"That's right, Black Cyber would still be alive." Lancelot said.

"So how do we kill someone who's essentially immortal in here?" Gawain asked. "Easy... we take away the key to his immortality... we have to destroy his Cyberband."
